I bought this book<\/a> about a year ago:<\/p>\n

\"hot<\/a><\/p>\n

…and after all this time, I finally got around to trying out one of the ornament ideas in it. Actually, it was the ornament on the cover that I was dying to try, because the picture was just too pretty to resist. Isn’t it gorgeous?<\/p>\n

(Here’s the link to the book on Amazon, by the way… it’s cheap, and it’s a beautiful book. There are a BUNCH of super pretty ornament ideas in it: Christmas Ornaments to Make: 101 Sparkling Holiday Trims by Better Homes & Gardens<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I didn’t have a gold ornament, so I didn’t make mine in the same color scheme (though I found a site that has every possible color and size of glass ornaments, for future reference, right HERE<\/a>). I like how mine came out, but I still love the one on the cover of the book more, and I definitely still want to try one just like it.<\/p>\n

Also, my ornament was smaller… I think a bigger size would definitely be better.<\/p>\n

I think it took me so long to try making this ornament because it looked kinda… not really so easy. But actually, it wasn’t nearly as intimidating or messy as I thought it would be. Mine just didn’t come out as pretty, but I am planning to try it again, in the colors from the book (I’ll update this site when I do it).<\/p>\n

All it took to make it was:<\/h2>\n
